TLDR
Light is shed on the relative significance of liver and adipose tissue in fatty acid synthesis in mice, on the mino importance of glucose in hepatic lipogenesis, and on the alterations in the rate of fatty acids synthesis in genetically obese mice.Abstract:
1. The synthesis of long-chain fatty acids de novo was measured in the liver and in regions of adipose tissue in intact normal and genetically obses mice throughout the daily 24h cycle. 2. The total rate of synthesis, as measured by the rate of incorporation of 3H from 3H2O into fatty acid, was highest during the dark period, in liver and adipose tissue of lean or obese mice. 3. The rate of incorporation of 14C from [U-14C]glucose into fatty acid was also followed (in the same mice). The 14C/3H ratios were higher by a factor of 5-20 in parametrial and scapular fat than that in liver. This difference was less marked during the dark period (of maximum fatty acid synthesis). 4. In normal mice, the total rate of fatty acid synthesis in the liver was about twofold greater than that in all adipose tissue regions combined. 5. In obese mice, the rate of fatty acid synthesis was more rapid than in lean mice, in both liver and adipose tissue. Most of the extra lipogenesis occurred in adipose tissue. The extra hepatic fatty acids synthesized in obese mice were located in triglyceride rather than phospholipid. 6. In adipose tissue of normal mice, the rate of fatty acid synthesis was most rapid in the intra-abdominal areas and in brown fat. In obese mice, all regions exhibited rapid rates of fatty acid synthesis. 7. These results shed light on the relative significance of liver and adipose tissue (i.e. the adipose 'organ') in fatty acid synthesis in mice, on the mino importance of glucose in hepatic lipogenesis, and on the alterations in the rate of fatty acid synthesis in genetically obese mice.read more

Thematic review series: glycerolipids. DGAT enzymes and triacylglycerol biosynthesis.
TL;DR: The genes encoding two DGAT enzymes, DGAT1 and DGAT2, were identified in the past decade, and the use of molecular tools, including mice deficient in either enzyme, has shed light on their functions.

TL;DR: It is shown that genomic recruitment of HDAC3 by Rev-erbα directs a circadian rhythm of histone acetylation and gene expression required for normal hepatic lipid homeostasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that adipose tissue GLUT4 regulates the expression of carbohydrate-responsive-element-binding protein (ChREBP; also known as MLXIPL), a transcriptional regulator of lipogenic and glycolytic genes, and adipose ChREBP is a major determinant of adipOSE tissue fatty acid synthesis and systemic insulin sensitivity.

Brown adipose tissue in the parametrial fat pad of the mouse.
TL;DR: Cold acclimation has been shown to produce a substantial increase in the number of brown adipocytes in the parametrial fat pad of female BALB/c mice ‐ a site normally thought to consist of typical white adipocytes.

TL;DR: SREBP-1 regulation of lipogenesis is highly involved in the development of fatty livers but does not seem to be a determinant of obesity in Lep ob /Lep ob mice.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

TL;DR: Incorporation of 3H from 3H2O was used to measure the rate of fatty acid synthesis in rat liver as discussed by the authors, and showed that 3H-citrate strongly inhibits fat acid synthesis.

In vivo demonstration of the circadian rhythm of cholesterol biosynthesis inthe liver and intestine of the rat
TL;DR: Results obtained in this study support the hypothesis that the major portion of the rise in HMG CoA reductase activity and the increase in overall rate of cholesterol synthesis in liver and intestine during the circadian rhythm are due to the ingestion of food.

TL;DR: Conditions are described for perfusing rat livers in vitro which result in rates of fatty acid synthesis which equal the rates observed in vivo, and those observed when starved animals are refed are compared.
